Keep trying to restart Task Manager and Windows Explorer to resolve the problems. I'm really struggling.
I have three monitors and often struggle to get everything working right after waking up. My taskbars and icons look distorted, making it hard to interact with them or use the search bar. I was really upset for a while until I found a solution online. They suggested restarting Windows Explorer, which temporarily fixed the problem and let me use my computer normally again. However, everything on my left monitor appears on the middle one, and the right monitor keeps the apps unchanged. The taskbar glitches appear on all monitors after waking, and the search function stops working completely. I’ve tried redownloading Windows about six months ago, but my browser still loads very slowly—sometimes taking minutes or even failing to update. Changing browsers helps a bit, but switching between them makes it feel extremely sluggish. The performance varies wildly: some sites load instantly, while others take a long time or freeze entirely. I’ve tested Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Chrome Canary, OperaGX and Brave, but they all behave differently—fast most of the time, but very slow when I switch tabs or videos. If you have any questions or need further help, just let me know. Thanks!
Keep an eye on your system using task manager, resource monitor, and HWinfo. Look for any unusual activity. If the issue persists, a clean install of Windows with the right tools is likely the best solution; otherwise, hardware problems may be involved.
